The WORST "expert" pool man. Joe re-did my parents pool entirely (gutted the entire pool, replaced everything.)
1) His workers leave all their trash everywhere literally every single day. Cans and trash and food wrappers, concrete everywhere, which is my "dogs fault."
2) I have a husky that goes outside to use the restroom and there was a butcher knife right by the side of the pool. Joe said my dog took the butcher knife and placed it next to the pool. Horizontally perfect.
3) Anything that went wrong he BLAMED 100% on me, my parents or my dog. Literally never took responsibility for anything.
4) Joe DOES NOT answer the phone when he knows he did wrong. Just call him a few times and wait a couple of days.
5) Joe never gave my parents a receipt for the job, even though he said he would 4 plus times.He even had the audacity to tell me and my parents that he left the paper outside on the patio and he said that if we didn't get it, it is our fault. He of course did not leave any type of papers. Plus if he was going to do that would he not have the decency to give it to my parents' in their hands???? I know for a fact he left no type of paper.
6) Joe said I was harassing him (I am the daughter of my parents.) because I was telling him to please not mess with my parents and give them a receipt. To this very day we still have never gotten a receipt.
7) The tiles have already cracked off, including some cracks on the plaster inside the pool, leading to leaks. (he said he would come by and fix it but he didn't.)
8) Joe took down the door of the backyard (of course necessary) and literally had it on the floor after it had been raining left with all this nice wet dirt. Its ok he has no time to have it leaned on a wall by my house or out of his way.
9) He decided to go and bring his supplies (plaster,concrete,paint,tiles etc.) through the left side of my parents house which was within OUR property line, but because the older woman next door, to my parents house did not want the grass being messed with, she got really upset and told them to use the other side. BUT Joe took the initiative to listen to a woman that has no right to tell them to go through the other side. IT IS OUR PROPERTY LINE. NOT HERS. Therefore he took the directions of the older woman next door and decided to go to the right side of the property where the pool filter was connected.
10) He took out my parents pool filter machine without even letting us know and left it in the grass like it was thrown there.
11) Joe doesn't even ask or tell my parents anything about any situation. My dad had to play investigator.
12) He removed all the water from the pool onto the public street, which is illegal in Leon Valley. Lucky my parents, nor him got a violation.
13) We had gotten Joe to re-do the concrete surrounding the pool because it was shifting and if not fixed the pool would not be salvageable. When he redid the concrete around the pool he did not set up his foundation properly. Barb wiring and the wrong type of soil. (That's a whole story on its own.)
14) Left paint stains on top of tiles and had the dripping look, where you could tell it was done very quickly.
If you want a guy who blames all issues on you, leaves a butcher knife outside, trash and concrete everywhere, blames a dog took everything (concrete,knife,trash) and spread it around the backyard. Then this is your man!
Have your own documentation, and be willing to be outside when the workers do their job.
I was never going to write a review but my dad still tells me the issues that he has and how he is getting our monthly pool man to fix them. It made me very stressed because we have a entire year of "insurance" on the pool from Joe, so anything that goes wrong he will fix. Which he never did.
Seriously this is a joke. I am upset because of what he did to my parents.My parents mean the world to me, and to see them upset makes me very sad and protective. They are older and they do not need the stress of some man who gets his money and goes missing.
Thank you Joe If I knew then what I know now, you would never have stepped foot onto my parents property. read more
